บท 143: Sparring Match

Seeing that the princess didn't seem eager to be the one to make the first move. Jovani decided that he would be the first to attack. She most likely was waiting him out in hopes of being able to assess his ability before she made her first move. She certainly was a bright one. 

The first strike Jovani did was a soft hit that was aimed towards the left side of her face which he presumed as her less dominant side. She was quick to react to this thought and ducked to the side and hit out with her left hand. He felt it brush against his cheek, but it didn't quite hit the mark. 

He countered with another quick strike aimed at the inside of her right shoulder towards her chest. It wasn't a very effective place to hit for damage but center mass was always easier to strike. She brought her right arm up to block it and push back.
